From the album "Blood Spills Not Far From the Wound" available now via Metropolis Records. www.metropolis-mailorder.com/p...
I sweep across the land in vain,
Like locust swarming in the breeze,
I want for nothing yet I keep,
Exercising futility.
Success is ashes on my tongue,
Remain unhappy though I'm loved,
I know I'm foolish and I'm young,
But can't you see it's not enough?
I'm not satisfied,
It's all or nothing,
There's no peace of mind for me,
And even though I try,
My greedy heart is hungry,
I'm not satisfied,
You see?
I've seen much more than most could hope,
Accomplished dreams and traveled roads,
Through all my lovers I have grown,
Just not enough to make a home,
There's no religion there's no god,
Who'll fill this emptiness I've got,
What good's belief when it is wrong?
Just gimme more because I'm not!
I'm not satisfied,
It's all or nothing,
There's no peace of mind for me,
And even though I try,
My greedy heart is hungry,
I'm not satisfied,
You see?
I'm not satisfied,
I'm lost and empty,
There's no reason why,
You see?
And I could live a thousand lives,
And I know I won't be happy,
I'm not satisfied with me.
I run my hands across my face,
Failing to feel the moment's weight,
Is this all life is offering?
Well what the hell is wrong with me?

"I'm not satisfied, it's all or nothing,
there's no peace of mind for me,
and even though I try, my greedy heart is hungry,
I'm not satisfied, you see?"
This goes right through my soul...
Relatable as fuck

Boom. Over 100k plays. Thanks so much!
You Welcome xD
Tapping my foot hard on a tram in Melbourne. Thanks! ;)
Hey i was wondering if I could use your songs in my videos without having trouble with you?
I really like your music and I love listening to it while playing but I also want to add it in my vids so other people can enjoy it too ...
so what do you say?
sorry for this long message :l
Lars Rau Sure as long as you don't monetize it it's totally fine.
Close to Human Music great thanks!
its kinda difficult to choose your fighter in this character select menu with all the quick cuts
pick the Daniel with sideburns.
+fyiicheckforspies if these skins come standard i might pre-order
+fyiicheckforspies It looks like each one has different move sets, so I guess we have to factor that into our selection too
+fyiicheckforspies don't they let u select how you want the character to appear as, i know they do that in most fighters
+fyiicheckforspies this is my favorite sequence of comments on this video.
My dad use to listen to this, I remembered it but couldn't remember who it was by, so happy I found it ❤️❤️❤️
my favorite song on youtube
Can never get enough of Aesthetic Perfection, Celldweller, or Combichrist
Same. 🖤
+Scandroid, Blastromen, Dance with the dead, Gunship, Birthday Massacre

@@balthasargerard7246 chill man... it's cool. Honestly I like it. So I don't get it. But still, chill out.
That's what I liked best
Never enough wooaaoohs

IDK why ppl r tryna make unsolicited demands...

And... they're not satisfied, & act like this:
🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
Lol. A sheep with horns is still a sheep.😊😊
I really love this song, & it's very relatable...
That's cool that u made it, musically 🎵🎵🎵🎵
Don't b so hard on yourself. You're perfect.😊
Whoooaaaooohhh!
Saw him live in Houston, and this song is my anthem... I am sure it's a common thing to be said but, when you are raised to be never enough. It stays with you.
I love these lyrics, Daniel. Your music always speaks to me.
We spoke at your London gig. You're a genuinely decent guy. Really loved your live set. Thank you.
My 4yr old and my 6yr old both have said this is their favorite song. They listen to it on repeat and watch the video!!! Glad we can enjoy amazing music together!!!
Kaye Cardoza my 5 and 2.5 yr old, too!
This has become one of my favorite songs, and has become my anthem to motivate myself to strive for more in life!
That's a wonderful and humbling comment, Dalton. Thank you!
Right. He has made me want to be a better person
This sound still hits right
This song even years later with soo many good things that have happened... This is still LIFE for me
I just found this band, and I gotta say, I'm on love with this song.
Aesthetic Perfection changes style a lot. Like his early stuff is pretty heavy compared to this.
This song got stuck in my head since yesterdays concert. Great song and great performance.
You are the best. You'll never be satisfied if you keep getting better and better! it's been an honor to watch you blossom as a musician and lyricist from Necessary Response to Now. You always know how to put those strange feelings of being lost and not sure into words. Thank you. Your music is healing.
+yeiasoumanga Thank you! It's words like yours that motivate me to keep doing this crazy music thing...
Close to Human Music
i cannot believe this song is 8 years, wth. time is fn nuts!
Aaaand now that's another song of yours stuck in my head.
Love the lyrics , beautifully written .
They speak to most of us existentialist .
Searching for the sacred Grail , which is within us , but we never satisfied because we want more , beyond the looking glass .
Thank you for your art .
This guy just blows me away! He has such a disarming and honest talent! This song is very good.....his voice suits it perfectly! I am loving this video!!! 🖤🖤
This is definitely my favorite song of yours AP. The flow of the song and the up-beat interludes are really enjoyable to listen to. One thing in particular is your body language. The way you use your hands and arms, your eyes, your entire body, and other expressions to stress highs and lows of the instruments and lyrics is very endearing, and rather unlike other musicians' body language. You have an exceptionally original musical persona that really isn't exhibited with anyone else.
I hope you're able to create more music and videos like this one.
I still love everything about this video. You could say it's my... aesthetic. (I'll show myself out)
This comment was great lol
I mean, this was a _necessary response_
It's been awhile since I've listened to aesthetic perfection but last night and the last part of my dream I heard the song playing very clearly. So I guess congratulations you've made it into a man's subconscious as a reply from himself to himself on how he's doing
I recall when this first came out, and I like a great number of others bitched and moaned about its not like, a Violent Emotion, I am sooooooo glad to say as I have gotten older and grown, this may be my fave song you ever did Daniel , thank you we don't deserve you,.
I stand by this comment. thank you Daniel
I love that you express yourself with various sounds and aren't afraid of trying new things. I'm a fan of every bit of your work and the evolution of your sound. As an artist (though not a musical one) I understand that everyone expresses emotions in different ways that are often not interpreted the same by an audience. Frustrating as it may be (haters are gonna hate), I'm glad you keep pushing through the fire and rise above. Never stop expressing yourself as you see fit. You are major motivation and inspiration for me!
6 years to the day with a awesome song and a bad ass producer!!!
Wow glad to see that band after 20 years :) Got it in my head now, Great video and song :) Cheers!
Amazeballs! I love this new track.
I’ve felt this way my whole life and I’m 51. But there is only so much I can do…here’s to hoping we both can find our balance 🖤🥀
sadly to often in my life i didnt realise i was happy until i was watching the ashes fall away between my fingers.. so all to well i feel this song deeply. thank you again for another epic tune and another way to flip off youtube's broken junk lol. keep up the excellent work!
This just gives me chills all over. Great song
Daniel Graves, you inspire me more than an artist has in a long time. I'm teaching myself music production, and I'm easing into trying to produce dark electronic music like this...but I always felt like i'd never be able to break into the scene for one reason or another.
Then I find this video, and find more work by you, and realize things are different:
1: You're one guy! You do the vocals and production, as far as I can tell, all alone. Normally dark electronic acts seem to be duos or larger bands, but you've got all the talent. It's possible to do something this fantastic alone.
2: You're american! Most dark electronic acts seem to be based in europe, to the point where I wasn't sure it was possible for an american to do it. But clearly, you were able to, and you're pretty huge.
3: You didn't have to stick to a specific sound...you were able to evolve, and continue to evolve. I find this awesome.
Those may sound weird, but you knocked down many of the false mental blocks I had in pursuing this...thank you.
+JMSOG Thanks man. Just go for it. If you don't try you don't know. Best of luck!
+Close to Human Music lover your style would love to collab with you
+JMSOG Check Celldweller and Blue Stahli there is more solo project than you think :D
You can do it bro! I believe in you, listen to your heart :)
Did you do it?
I'm always coming back to this song. Perfect mix of pop, industrial and cyberpunk.
Interesting song, has a slight 80s Depeche Mode-y kinda of feel. Loved the hood and spinal paint look, that was sweet.
Mitter Nacht i thought Depeche Mode also
It's interesting to hear how Daniel growing up with every album
It’s almost criminal that this band doesn’t have far far more views... I’m only sad it’s taken me so long to find it.
I'm totally addicted to this song, and I can listen to it for hours without getting tired. Actually, working while listening to it is very relaxing and uplifting.
God I love Daniels performances
There's a reason this has been played and shared so much! It's badass! It speaks to MANY! Never Enough of the video!
Jfc I can't stop listening to this song
I honestly think this song illustrates - and for me partly summarizes - perfectly the whole philosophy that hides behind the ingenious name 'Aesthetic Perfection'. Although the very first song I heard (and got mesmerizes by) from this band was 'A Nice Place to Visit' (On my search for some good old aggrotech), I don't mind the newly added pop-ish style. In fact, I think Daniel is simply following the philosophy of 'attaining aesthetic perfection' and I'm all in for it.
I can only but see a pattern - or a path of some sort - in which you start from rough, harsh and aggressive-looking bag of sharp stones and finish with a chest full of geometrically perfect diamonds. Sadly though, one who chooses the Faustian path quickly discovers ending up with a tragicomic fate of Sisyphus and an unsettling feeling of Never Being enough (since perfection is hardly possible to achieve). But I can nothing but hail, salute and praise those who ascend on this path of Becoming (a path of Change), for it is the one and only true path to fulfillment.
Greetings from Finland and soz for any inconvenient misspellings. Keep up the good work, Daniel ; )
+The Shock Doctrine Foundation OH my god... you just took my love for Daniel to the next level.
This is my favorite song, but i love all music of your album.
Can't get enough of this song. LOVE IT!
OMG I LOVE AESTHETIC PERFECTION SO MUCH!!!!!! I love this album with a passion and I'm so happy the music is still going!! I have been a fan for so long and as a musician myself that loves industrial music, I want to work side by side with them to create a new deep dark sound!!! Much love from SEATTLE !
Yes!! New music from my favourite band! Love this! (I also really like the "whoas").
Aesthetically (no pun intended) effective with few materials and very good video editing. As for the song itself, I love this pop melodies; I had the chance to see a live performance of this song last August in Manchester and, despite Daniel's bad shape for that specific show, he managed to make it way more intense and aggressive.
Congratulations once again for a great song. Looking forward to the new album.
I was so happy that I met you at the Amphi 2016 and I'm looking forward to Amphi 2018...
your music is everything I have atm and it drives me to keep going on, thanks for that life saver ♥
This is the first song of yours I listened to. This will always be my favorite.
This is how I feel so much and I love how it shows the anguish but is not a down song. It is poppy but heart-full. Ugh I love this song beyond words.
one of the defining moments of my life was realizing my depression wasn't something to cure but to manage. Feeling something was wrong with me I needed to get rid of was the worst, especially cause I constantly failed at it. knowing now that it is just a part of me makes things better it took a weight off. I could live a thousand lives but without this struggle I would not be me. Even if that's not your intent that is what I hear so thank you.
I love the “Woo ooh ooh”. Eargasm every time!
never enough, never enough
This is one of the greatest songs I've heard this year, and by far the best electronic music.
This speaks to me on a deep level.
I LOVE it!
Can't wait to hear the new album!
I just noticed how majority of my favorite songs are by these guys, can't believe I saw the show in Dallas recently. It was amazing!!
My heart sped up. I love this. So overjoyed for this!!
Keep finding myself coming back to this song for another watch. This is a bop.
Definitely digging this Dan. Thanks!
LOVE this new Sound !!!
I absolutely love this song. I love how different it is to their usual stuff and how completely I can relate.
Thank you for the amazing music!
This song showed up just when I needed it. Thank you.
my 7 year loves your song. he makes me play it 2 or 3 times a day. he even knows all the words.
my 7 year old just turned 12.
he still loves every second of this song. over the years it even became one of my favs too.
i cant not begin to explain the amount of good memories this one song has provided me and my son.
I have listened to this song on repeat about 20 times now! Can't wait for the release. Oh and I personally love the backing "whoah" vocals. 💜💜💜
I don't know how I ever missed this video. Daniel you have the most unique style to your music videos. This one is by far one of my favs!
So amazing, so good. LOVE the sound, so excited about the new album. This song really speaks to me. Well done!
I Love it! Well worth the wait
Amazing work, the evolution and transformation from album to album shows different faces of your talent. So excited to see what this new album has to show!
Absolutely fantastic! Been a fan for a while and your talent never ceases to amaze me.
Awesome song. You never disappoint!
Can't stop listening!! A.P killing it as usual!!
Magnifico trabajo.
Coming back to this track I actually think it was maybe a little ahead of its time. I think we've leaned more into this style and sound since 2015.
I’m addicted to this song... play it everyday!
Your work always amazes me forreals.
Love this!
how fucking good is this and why has it taken me ages to unleash this power awesome
I'm already wondering how many of the views are mine. I lost count, this is just too good
Just one. Unless it's from a different IP :)
By far my favorite song of yours!
Now I think I have a bizarre love for fluorescent lights. This video couldn't have been released at a better time. I won't go into detail cause I don't wanna sound like a self-pitying emo, but with how much stress has been on me recently, this video really gave me something to look forward to in the last few days and now that it's out, the end reward is worth it. Thanks for being you, Daniel. I know you usually don't like what you make, and I know some people don't like the higher octave of this song or the repetitive "whoa-oh", but I'm very omnivorous with my tastes and you'd have to fuck up pretty bad for me not to like this, lmao. I think it's great.
I've been playing this over and over...make me wanna create another shadow dance. You are such an inspiration.
I really think it's amazing. I especially love that this song perfectly sums up why I'm a fan; you're never satisfied. Your voice has come so far since when you first released Close to Human... though I suppose it has been 10 years. I've probably seen you guys at least five times over the years, and each time you are better. And it's not just your voice, each release is more artistically mature than the last. There are few acts that can say that.
You age like a fine wine, Mr. Graves. Keep it up.
True art and passion!!!!!!
totally in love with this song, not only music- wise but the lyrics! excellent work! x
So satisfied I found this artist.He is unique and real.Thank you Daniel Graves
Such a great track!!!
A masterpiece. Visually stunning. Song is fantastic 👍✨👌
Glorious!
Great amazing underrated song 😍
Loving it, looking forward to hearing the rest of the remastered songs :)
I love this song, the lyrics and how you can interpret it!!! Thankyou for always being a source of my inspiration,
Never enough...i can´t stop play your song again and again..i love your music and this song is fantastic..
Amazing song! VERY relate-able!
I think this is one of your best songs. Please do another like this. Your voice is memorizing.
Love this. Thank you for helping me retrieve a part of myself I thought was lost.
Loving the change in style! Breaking the norm as always. keep it up, GREATNESS
I love thisss!
I love your music so much! Every album is awesome in its own way. No matter what mood I'm in your music puts me in a better mood. I listen to it or watch the videos pretty much everyday.
my go to music! love it!
amazing voice!
One of my favorite songs that speaks to me on a very deep level. The restless life is an exhausting one.
